[Must-watch] Why Was Only TPLF Singled out and Being Target of Denouncement in Recent Protests of Oromia and Gondar

Awramba Times (Addis Ababa) – Recently, some protestors in Oromia and Gondar, have singled out the Tigrean People Liberation Front (TPLF) and made their target of denouncement? Journalists, Dawit Kebede and Fanuel Kinfu, have critically discussed on the matter, Please watch below

Why the TPLF is singled out as an enemy by people who came out recently to protest in some parts of Ethiopia? The discussion of the two focused on answering that very question, but — not to discount their understanding of Ethiopian politics– the answer is not easy to come by. Dawit and his guest start discussing to answer the question as if they believe the four ethnic based parties which formed EPDRF represent the people they claim to represent. That is the problem. The EPDRF politicians believe representing the interest of the ethnic group they claim to represent. Do the people who being told to be represented share that believe? Different people might come up with different answers. People who benefit from the system might say it is a God send, however the great majority of every ethnic group which EPDRF claim to represent disagree. If one is not buying the constant barrage of ethnic equality politics, there is hardly a reason to fall in love with EPDRF. First, after twenty-five years, in reality Ethiopia has a one party system. Second, the EPDRF politicians are a we-know-it-all ignorant. They underestimate the political knowledge of the people they govern. The people might not be book smart. But their living is their politics. But the EPDRF politicos override a million peasant concern with a cadre input. Third, the ethnic politics EPDRF is espousing is fertile ground to breed rampant corruption. One has only to swear his allegiance to ethnic equality just to rob the ethnic people whom he claims to have fought for their equality. There were several government sponsored discussion to fight corruption, but nothing came out of it. To buy time the politicians here and there arrest high profile individuals. The very day the government is arresting two individuals for corruption there are thousands who are doing the very same thing that put the individuals away. Corruption will never be contained under EPDRF. It is the life line of EPDRF. A significant number of the bureaucrats and new politicians gravitated towards EPDRF not because they love singing the ethnic equality song, but they saw a political system to be milked. They know EPDRF will have a hard time selling this ethnic politics nonsense, but they know if they infiltrate as a worshipper of ethnic politics their financial future would be great. Corruption and EPDRF will might lose at the same time, but not one before the other. I still do not answer why TPLF is singled out. Well, In Northern Ethiopia TPLF is accused of taking land that belongs to another province. But in general Ethiopians rightly believe the ethnic group that controls the high command of the military and security controls the outcomes of politics. IF not why TPLF chose not having equal distribution among ethnicities in military high command and security? Even asking that legitimate question I believe opposition politicians make a great mistake trying to single out TPLF from EPDRF. In so doing they play ethnic politics they cry loud detesting.

It is ridiculous Dawit and the so-called political analyst have not still understood why Ethiopians in all directions strongly complain about the existing asymmetrical relationship between TPLF and the other three puppet organizations. I don’t think Dawit misses the core point why people say TPLF is the king of Kings in this country. Forget about those fake regional administrations and just look who controls the army, the security apparatus, the foreign relations, the federal police, the prime minister office, the federal affairs (like Kassa T/Birhan who is a TPLF agent within EPDM). You will easily get the answer and it doesn’t need deep political analysis. By the way, the Ethiopian people are two steps ahead of you guys and don’t waste your time in talking nonsense.

I don’t know who the other guy (Fanuel) is, but when it comes to Dawit, he knows the political heavy weights (his uncles) very well and Dawit himself should be the one in charge of answering those critical issues but he preferred to intentionally deceive as a genuine journalist who knows nothing on the ground and went extra miles to roast that guy (probably he is Amhara) to answer for all those catastrophic damages occurred in that country by Dawit’s relatives.
Shame!

This shows how much Dawit and his TPLF bosses are worried by the resistance of the majority Ethiopians. Dave your days are numbered but don’t worry we will give you the needed immunity, if you come back to your senses “Sayrefdebeh”

That absolutely right and the are sensing that their day is numbered. But they are trying make excuses “kiray Sebsabi” who are they? aren’t they members of the regime the people are fighting? Lack of good governance. Who is responsible for that? isn’t TPLF the reason for all these problem?

It is simple calculations in Merera Gudina and Yilikal sailing into power. Their tactic defaming others like ANDM; OPDO & SPNO, by saying that they are Tigray Ashker and organizing the chauvinist and Narrow on their side. EPRDF was more lenient towards the demonstrators hate speech. When they were attacking by saying Woyane Go home. They should know better to stop this. In Amara regional state also they should tell to Wolkait committee members to do their meeting in Wolkait not in Gondar. It might be legitimate or no it has another thing. Anyways TPLF and Tigray people have sacrificed a lot for putting our cousin the right track.

YOU wanted to know why TPLF is single-out ? Check out who controls most of government institutions , such as media, intelligence, defense , Parliament and foreign minster …. and whose view is imposed on the public’s daily lives . and who put those puppets in every regional governments? Check out the looting of the nation such as sugar factory case, missing condos, Metec case in defense ministry………corruption everywhere by creating a culture of opportunism

We know TPLF played a major role in development of the nation, but as the same time it played a major role in looting Ethiopia too.
If they wanted to take a credit for Development, They must also take the credit for the bad, the corruption and lack of good governance. They created it.
There is NO an independent institutions to over-site them, there is no media to investigate them, there is no civil society to expose them, to be a voice of ordinary citizens.

They just wanted us to believe them because they are a bunch of Angeles who do not need supervision when they work for us, But the reality testifies contrary to what they wanted us to believe. It is hard to get government services without bribe….. nowadays it is ways of life

Dawit , you try to imply Amhara and Oromia region officials are corrupt, that is why we have crises . Well, where did they learn it? Where did they get it?
In my view, Now TPLF has become liability for those parties in the eye of their constituencies . It is uphill to stand with TPLF for them. The more the government use force to calm down the crises, those parties may lose the support of their public . Then, TPLF may end up with no friend. That is not good the party that wants to control everything forever.

Finally, while I appreciate your and your guest view, I rather believe L/G Tsadikan and his assessments about Ethiopia situation. He told us TPLF wants to remain controlling everything as it has been doing so far. This is contrary to the notions of democracy and equality. It will not work.
The public demonstration is the manifestations of these contradictions . There is a minority (not the people) group that wants to control the country for the benefit of few using ethnic card, and there is a large public to democratize it .
My concern is we my lose our common home, Ethiopia unless and otherwise our leaders realize this phenomena and began to reform themselves. NOT the usual slogan, Tehadiso please

Desta, again you are giving your empty analysis. I will take your naming on the other version and term. I will use EPRDF rather than TPLF. I will tell you why you want to single out EPRDF. You know It TPLF is the toughest one any way you are giving to others hodams amara. But your dream is shattered it didn’t work in Gonder it didn’t in oromia because people have realized what your mission is.

BEZA , The question Dawit and his guest raised was why TPLF is single out ? Then, I exercised my right and freedom of speech to explain the way I see it , and observe it.
I do understand in Ethnic organized society, always their version of truth is absolute . No room for debate and doubt. Did you ever have any criticism of TPLF? on what? do you agree all the time? could they be right all the time? do you have your own brain that force you to think for yourself rather than follow the crowd or tribe member ?
You say view is empty. Well, then why we have crises in Ethiopia today? Why Ethiopia become a coverage for major international news media? could it be just few hodam amharas , outlaws disrupt the few cities ? Then why the solders are harassing, intimidating, killing civilians and prevent free moment of the people, even to walk on the street if they are more than 2 people.
As far as I know, the constitution says people are free to assemble, organize and speak freely. So, TPLF is violating the constitution. Is there accountability?
If you think I am wrong and my analysis is empty. I believe TPLF would strongly disagree with you. According to them, they are responsible for all the things that took place in Ethiopia.

Osyres, Ye banda lij, this is an Ethiopian internal affair. We will resolve our differences amicably. Stay away from this discussion forum and go to your meskerem, shaebiat, etc. where you belong. Is the kidney market drying up and you becoming angry? The demand for some commodities is seasonal. So don’t worry it will pick up any time soon.

Tasama, is that the name of Oromo for Tesema? U might be Eritrean too, this guy even was defending Esayas and eritrea in Tigrigna. You must be new Wetader of Facebook and social media. Are you denying that 99% them are infesting this website spreading their venomous ideas on like nazret.com. Wolkait is Tigrigna speaker Tigres. Wolkait is in Wolkait not in Gonder. If they want to raise the Issue it must be in Wolkait not in Gonder city.

Osyres/Tasama or whatever new name you give to yourself, it does not matter whether Wolkayit is in Tigray or Bejamidir as long as the people of Wolkayit decide for themselves. When you don’t have the courage to talk about the organ harvesting of your relatives in banda-land you cannot have the moral to talk about the the democratic rights of the Wolkayit people who nurtured, protected and developed TPLF/EPRDF into its present form. TPLF/EPRDF can make mistakes but the people of Wokayit cannot and the people know how to correct the organization that they created and nurtured. The people that you enjoy insulting (Agame) have been and will keep whipping you every time you misbehave.

This singled target has two main reasons.
1. To attack the ‘strongest’ must divide to hit the core.
2.the Shaebian and Éthiopian opposition media spread tribal hate on Tigreans for nany years. Now to achieve thier goal always saying ‘Agazi army’ for any single fire. Also mentioning ‘Woyane’ for anywhere corruption even in Oromia and Gonder the worst corrupted area in the country.
So by these Shaebian and Egyptian desingned two points working hard with out hassitate.
That’s why Sisi said to Egyptians in media “Trust me, don’t worry about the GERD”…

By the way im so happy for elimination of EPRDF from our country if not targeted Tigreans.
These TpLF members are Eritrean blood related except Arkebe and Abay tsehaye. So why you do not post of Bereket, Tedros Hagos, Niway /Tesfaye Gebreab brother/ Arfaine….. Pictures?

Davo I watched discussion and I really appreciated.but in General as a government EPRDF already failed but as a party may be it will compute.There is some factors that I will mention some other time.keep up the good job brother.

I have seen only Dawit as a normal human being; very much concerned about his country. The other one is nothing else but all of them are the same.

The issue is not about good governors but bigger, deeper and whose than that. Good governors come after a government. Is there a government in the country? No.

What is EPRDF? EPRDF is the camouflaging name of TPLF. They are saying EPRDF is the union of 4 Ethnic based parties which is a TPLF criminal idea. TPLF is by far the smallest one. Yet, look at who is running and owning the nation as private property for the last 25 years? It is TPLF in the name of EPRDF and Tigians are the only beneficiaries from the so called Economic development in the country. Go to each and every office, institution, project and you name it. All of them are Tigrians sitting on the highest chairs acting as hostile, hatful and looter foreign invaders have no what so ever sympathy, empathy or respect for the people and nation as a whole.

Just listen ESAT 18 august 2016 radio about the criminal nature of EFFORT and other TPLF mafia cartel companies. EFFORT is worst than any criminal group exists today in the world. Yet, it is operating legally and freely looting the nation and everything is stored in Mekele. Ethiopia is a milk cow and Tigreans are milking her until nothing is left even for the calf to survive.

They are just digging deep and wide their own graves while thinking to bury the nation before leaving to the Dry and isolated Tigry to enjoy life with the 25 years long looted wealth. Be sure, thanks to the climate change which is going on, Mekele and other towns in Tigry will be the first cities and town in Ethiopia will be abandoned because of the shortage of water. Just wait the maximum of 30/50 years.

The biggest and main reason the Amhara region uprising are not what this TPLF is talking about but Wolkayit, the TPLF domination, interference in regional issues, lootings and corruption. It is the same in Oromo and the rest of Ethiopia as well. Look at who is controlling eth Ethiopian military, security and defense from eth highest chairs and positions? They are. Look at the TPLF media called EBC, Fana, Walta, ….. Look at the very important and many making positions> all of them are occupied by them.

If they think this is 1997/2005 they can control it, they are badly mistaken. This will be their end this or that way depends on them.
OPDO, ANDM and Debub that are the three biggest parties with in the so called EPRDF which is TPLF must unite and take the party without TPLF. This is the easiest and best way to solve the current situation without causing any damage or killing in the Country.

Good Job Dawit. Good journalist is like a good solder for his people and country but using only pen and paper which is electronics these days. Thanks to TPLF our soldiers and police forces are shooting to kill the people instead of protecting them from the worst enemies like the TPLF and its evil supporters are.

Awrambatimes. Good job
Your responsibility is to report it as it is and do not let your site to become an ethnic bashing and insulting space to be used mostly by anti Ethiopian elements to fuel anything of Ethiopia to their interest. I say that and you know that there are many foreign base Ethiopian websites, and most sadly are eager and happy to see Ethiopia in trouble and in trouble.

From Your discussion with your guest — I can say that you are really doing a wonderful job in trying to give some light and at least a good beginning and a good starting point for both Ethiopian public and the government to be able to directly engage and negotiate a way out from this dangerous atmosphere which is created by greedy opportunists and ignored by the government itself for far too long.

As you and your guest pointed out and agreed that the Addis Ababa City expansion Master plan is just a flashing point but the real issue is too complex and it has been exploited by enemies Ethiopia from within Ethiopia and from outside Ethiopia. From you video it seems their was some areas you seem knowingly or unknowingly removed what a very important perhaps the most fundamental point that may reflect that how our foreign enemies are spinning it to make any Ethiopian crises as if it is their making. Your guest is trying to bring to the discussion that the most dangerous Ethiopian enemies are not Shabia, or any foreign country working through anti Ethiopian elements inside and outside Ethiopia.
He is telling you and to the Ethiopian people “THE REAL AND DENGEROUS ENMIES ARE INSIDE ETHIOPIA AND THEY ARE CONTROLLING EVERY GOVERNMENT AND PRIVATE SECTOR OF ETHIOPIA. — If the government cant stop them and bring them to justice who will? I will leave that answer for the majority of the public.

– The TPLF:
First an for most what is Tigrian Liberation Front?
What is it? Is it still a liberation front ?
Liberate from whom now?
Is it a political party with a palm leaf in one hand and a gun on the other waiting if it doesn’t work out I will walk out on the rest of Ethiopia?
I understand and any civilized society understand that the sacrifice any nationalist group or country will never forget and want to hang on its original name. During the first world war when the western and Russian defeated then Nazi Germany they are Liberators but after II world war this nations still go every year to remember their fallen country men and women not surprisingly with citizens and armies of today’s post II world war Germany. I TPLF agenda is for all Ethiopian its achievement must be celebrated by all Ethiopian like Atse Menilik victory over Italy on Adwa. THE name TPLF belongs to history it must retire honorably unless Tigray is not yet liberated. It might offended some but my home land Ethiopia existence comes first and sadly the TPLF instead of being the most celebrated political front in today’s Ethiopia is denied its place and become a means of suppression to serve few “Rob as much as wherever you can as possible as you can “Get Quick Rich” Government and few gangsters(You can call the mafias because they are well organized) if any of them are wrongly accused and let their voice heard and point the finger to the criminals . Ethiopian Existence is by far more important the few thugs interests and the Government is the firs to blame.

TPLF/EPRDF
Dawit on your discussion you pointed out repeatedly by asking why the TPLF only the one to blame for the crises that happened in Shewa, Gojam and Begemdir regions mostly populated by Oromo and Amhara people and why other regional leaders who are part of EPRDG are not questioned?

The assessment your guest gave have some truth and some a bit scare mongering. It is true that there are anti Ethiopian groups see TPLF as an obstacle to their agenda and believed TPLF must go as OLF and Asmara based Egyptian funded Ginbot 7 must come in and that is true dream for Ethiopian enemies the reality and the natural fact is, it will never happen because the Ethiopian people will never make it happen . Ethiopia and the Ethiopian public knows well that Ethiopia has been existing for centuries with kind of scare and those scares make Ethiopia to become strong and one as nation a modern day Ethiopia.

By why the TPLF is blamed?
The answer is simple, because the TPLF is part of the government and the federal government and the federal government has the responsibility to keep law and order and without suppressing the demand and legitimate question of the public at large. It resolve any demand and public grievances by dialog not by using its shadow armed to the teeth groups. And also the government must quash any anti Ethiopian activities with the people. In peace time Some members of the TPLF, they are the only one who brought development to Ethiopia as if the rest of Ethiopians has nothing to do with it, and this kind of attitude when spoken by few TPLF members, their seem to be no one to stop them from their absurdity. When crises comes whom do we think the public to blame ?

For the other EPRDF coalitions parties the attitude is the same like the public, however for the very shroud ,selfish and irresponsible reason . I will work with you, I am part of the government, I am the majority in the parliament, some us will loot enrich ourselves, abuse power, commit crime and even instigate public unrest if there is a rumor or a hint of question toward my daylight crime to any one or other anti Ethiopian and unlawful activities by any authority , but when trouble starts I let TPLF take the blame despite I am the very part of EPRDF, I will use this unrest to my benefit and give even divisive comments here and their instead of act as I am suppose to act take my responsibility as a government as most off all as front and leading leader to deal and calm the situation if the trouble and public anger is from the region where I am elected and to serve my constituency and the entire region I am elected to serve collectively with my regional party members and colleagues, find a lasting “JUST SOLUTION“ to the citizens, no matter how small, remote is the troubled area .

There is no excuse for their silence except are acted shamefully and deliberately let only one group of their coalition take the blames by using its few thugs as a shield to hide their own crime and immense loot from the ever trying to develop nation.

Political Space-
First : of all forget opposition political party in Ethiopia.
On Last election some political party leaders never even go to their constituency to vote themselves. Instead they hang around in Addis Ababa leaving their voters dry and high.
If there are or were opposition parties, they go out to demonstrate in the streets of Addis Ababa way before any election date with the banner calling TPLF-EPRDF criminals and must be brought to justice, interested only their anti government protest is fully covered and broadcasted by Al-Jezeera, Shabia funded ESAT and all Egyptian and Arab medias outlets. The Irony is they deliberately choose their demonstration dates only when Addis Ababa preparing to host a major international meeting and high level gatherings is working very hard to heighten its security to insure the safety of its visiting foreign delegations and diplomats as if the Ethiopian people and government are the subjects to the visitors and Cairo journalists. When the government refuses or asking them to change the date for security reason and they ask to go to Washington and report to US congress as Ethiopia is a bad US state not a sovereign nation where its destination is determined by its people for its people. The truth is the payer holds the stick, if they don’t show up at Washington they will be exposed by their Shabia and Arab sponsors. Ethiopians must know that that kind of disease is long lasting , shaking hand with an enemy is a complex business and we can see it now in Ethiopia by very few within TPLF who cares more about Eritrean sovereignty and interest than Ethiopia and by those EPRDF members who are using TPLF.

The Ethiopian government must start cleaning itself from Addis Ababa City administration. there are tens of thousands people who are paying taxes sway before Derg era and still are paying taxes but get never got justice yet even their property is many times changed its ownership names secretly filed through corrupt kebele officials. The justice system is none existence so the power of the government .

We the people must fix that as on as Ethiopian.
Thank you Dawit, Keep up your good work and I hope the Ethiopian Government opens its controlled public media to have an open honest sometimes emotional discussion with the public like you did . I hope the governing body will learn something from your effort to address the deep rooted public grievance and try to normalize the situation by cutting the heads of Ethiopia’s enemies within, because it is undeclared war to our nation and we all must stand firm and stronger to safeguard our nation.

Pheew
“THE REAL AND DENGEROUS ENMIES ARE INSIDE ETHIOPIA AND THEY ARE CONTROLLING EVERY GOVERNMENT AND PRIVATE SECTOR OF ETHIOPIA.

The TPLF:
First an for most what is Tigrian Liberation Front?

From Your discussion with your guest — I can say that you are really doing a wonderful job . aren’t both so-called journalists are also TPLF cadres?

This is typical woyane hodgepodge. desperate and definitely out of your depth.

Are you guys trying acting like ethsat guys or what? you guys said the conterbeution if tplf to ethiopia’s development is big. What is that mean ? Did they brought money from tigrai and build road or someting in other part of ethiopia? Pls tell us what that mean? Worry about tigrai the people and the land you represent and leave the reast of ethiopia alone. Don’t worry about non tigrai ethiopia b/c it is non of your business.

If these five TPLFs with their picture on the blog are gone, 80% the problems caused by TPLF will be gone as well. But how can we make that happen easily, quckely and peacefully without causing any damage against our nation?

..and If proper answer is needed for current situations in Ethiopia,the TPLF journalist MUST include independent and opposition voices in their discussions.unfortunately ,everything dawit presents must get the green light from these guys.proof awrambatimes is the mouthpiece of TPLF
Al jezira excels in this regard ,by interviewing both government and opposition members people can be informed an be able to form their opinions.the recent debacle(??) by a mr. reda is exposed by independent media,al jezirra.

I think I can easily add other seven which would make that 80% to 99% togo fast.

The dreadful guest dreams of giving Shabia an advise on what to do about the popular uprising! There are dreams one just doesn’t say it loud, but this num-nuts has a nerve! In any event, is Awramba Times really down to this schizophrenic individual?

Yes, TPLF isn’t only on stirring wheel but is also on the switch! All the rest of the parties in the EPRDF are on the backseat, this can’t be news to even an ill-informed Ethiopian.

Among other things ,TPLF is the one that gives orders to its Agazi (exclusively Tigraye) soldiers to kill innocent protesters.
so what is the surprise fingers are pointing at Tigreys? aren’t they the backbone of TPLF? beneficiaries? or indifferent spectators?

Internal issues in the government, like corruptions, internal issues among the public like ethnic politics and , regional politics like Eritrea feeding the two internal political issues to be used as political scapegoat for Eritrea’s agenda are the main problems. Solve internal issues in the party, avoid ethnic based politics and to do the two eliminate Eritrea’s interference in Ethiopians matter. Taking matters that instigated by Eritrea solves two problems. one it opens the door for open discussions with concerned parties to solve internal issues without politicizing it a lot. second, taking care of Eritrea not only eliminates political and military threat coming from Eritrea but also it scales back any far away threat from other groups like , Egypt or any gulf states coming from Eritrea because they are using Eritrea as a spring board to launch political and military pressure on Ethiopia. In order for the Ethiopian government to synchronize the country in the future making taking a second language a mandatory in Elementary and secondary school will help. For example Amharic speaking person should take Tigrigna or orormigna as he choices, oromo can take Tigrigna, or afar or Somali or amharic as his her second language; the person can choose any language but the format has to be geezi. If that is done when people know other people’s language they tend to associate better . work better and understand better. Ethiopians need to take a second language of their own fellow Ethiopians language from primary to secondary and the government has to put it together. Ethiopians have nation and nationalities day each year in different states but having the language program set in the school system will help the country stay together.

Thank you Awramba, great discussion Fanuel Kinfu has clear understanding of the problem here , having said that all the TPLF haters are few in number but they are paper tigers they will be squashed, their hate is out of jealousy and embarrassment , because TPLF have Shawn the world what can be done once the anti development elements are gone. Now they are trying to reverse the direction our countriy is heading to the doom and glum years using social media their dream is in vain.

I think none of you came to the main point of recent problem . it just finger pointing to each other. you started in good faith that the meeting with PM about corruption & mal- governance. if you remember the meeting , the PM points of discussion and others who made the study were ridiculed by most big TPLF members . The big guys also did not show the right respect to the PM that they were showing to the previous PM. Corruption & Mal governance is bold in the country and all EPRDFites are part & parcel of this activities. But the TPLF & most Generals are the big actors otherwise others wont do it ( the smell of the fish from its head). It is contagious from TPLF to most political appointees and we always hearing that a chain of Mafia by the name big fat politician (Delala type) abuses a a lot of people by interfering in all types of activities. There is no law & order in the country and also big power vacuum that none can give solution to the people. Dawit you missed the big point, rather than other EPRDF come out for press , you better ask the PM or the parliament not raised the issue as it was by Getachew . I’m really afraid EPRDF taking the country in wrong direction and blunder was also made when election claimed as 100%. General Tsadkan has a better outlook than most people from in & out and definitely those who do not like to see good Ethiopia from both spectrum were barking at him. We read a lot in pro & against EPRDF media outlets that shows how selfish they are simple & pure. God may bring something good for the country.

The ethnic-ism issue is stretching from all angles and it seems the elasticity has reached to the minimum thickness. I sometimes ashamed the pro government website also are indulging in dirty ethnic politics which aggravate the government instability. Please try to bring a similar discussion topics that will have a positive impact on the stability of the country

Obviously the TPLF, being a minority party, has been in a position to dominate power only with the acquiessence of the other parties and the rest of the population. So in this regard Dawit is right – the indirect and main responsibility for Ethiopia’s political problems lies with the Amhara and Oromo elites and population. However the direct responsibility lies with the TPLF which has been abusing the population’s fear and docility by running a de facto apartheid system. People can feel this kind of ethnic unfairness in their bones – they don’t need someone to explain it to them!

you are thinking you know about us. But you don’t know us for all these 25 years. We Tigreans are champions with lies, hiding crimes and distorting facts. We killed directly and indirectly millions of Amharas. We created the environments and gave supports to others to kill them, Ethnic cleansing them, take their land and property before chasing them away from all over Ethiopia.

The reason why that has happened for 25 years targeting the Amharas by others is because of us, not by those committed the crimes. They are like herd animals we can easily make them like very wild animals against the Amharas. We gave them covers, supports and inflaming them with lies about the Amhara how bad they had been against them in order to revenge against based on lies.

This was our best strategy on one side to destroy the Amhara and on the other hand to divide the people in order to leave us alone and also become under our authorities because of they are not united but enemies against each other. However, We TPLF are now getting afraid that kind our criminal games is already exposed and the people are now have peace and unity within themselves. They are coming closer and working together against their common enemies and that are TPLF and Tigreans supporters. This is a shit scary time to us never happened before. But we have no other choices but continue doing the things we are good at.

So, let us to tell as well as teach you how to do it. The reason why we do this right now is not because of about you but us using you in our ways. Right now we are facing the worst situation we never faced before since 1975. The 2005 uprising following the election fraud by us was not out of our control as it is today. Back then we had reasons to talk about and powers to control it.

But right now, things are out of our control. We see no future that would keep us the way we have been for 25 years. However, we are not alone but all our creations to serve us including the Amhara and Oromo region governments will be affected. The International community is pressurized and over taken by mass Ethiopians uprisings and the very big and important none stop supports from Diaspora Ethiopians. No one is listening, watching, reading or believing anymore any media coverage we Tigreans are controlling including EBC which is TBC T stands for Tigry but TBC sounds like TuBerClause.

The international community is on our neck; none stop kicking hard and bad our heads. It is preparing cases to accuse us with crimes against humanity mentioning the Oromo and Amhara death since recently. Our fear is not this but the very long standing history and massive Crimes we have committed Against the Amhara started in Wolkayit and that is still not known. Wolkayit is as big as Den Mark or bigger than Wales in UK. It is the most fertile, water rich and best land. However, since we crossed the Tekeze River for shelter as rebels, we are engaging whipping out the native Amharas in order to take the land for own.

if the international community allowed to come in to investigate the current killings, it would not stop there but will go back to find out the Truth about the hidden mass massacres and huge damages we have been caused for 37 years Started in Wolkayit. However, when the tree is fallen, all the branches and leaves also will fall. We Tigreans are the tree and the rest are our branches and leaves to serve us and that are the rest of Ethiopia including you two.

That means you the Amhara and Oromo presidents as servants to us; you must do what we are telling you to do which is hiding the facts about the massacre done to the people by the Tigreans private Agazie forces. We must do anything to stop the international community coming in order to investigate the crimes we have done as they are saying happened recently. Our fear is big and that is they will not stop there but will go back for the last 37 years to find out exactly what we have done to this country and people particularly Against the Amharas we are considering them our enemies.

Therefore I send you this by us/TPLF written paper as usual to sign it in order to stop the international community coming to our country to investigate the situation caused by us. On the paper is mentioned not more than 700 deaths in Oromia which is the right figure but 25. These 25 deaths are also happened not by us but themselves. The deaths in Amhara are not more than 100 which is the true figure but we made it 5. These 5 also died because of their own fault, not us.

You must sign it and send us as soon as possible in order to show the world this paper telling them the Amhara and Oromo Kilil presidents don’t agree your coming because of the right figure is not more than 800 in total but 30. This is the only way we have to do in order to stay on power. But for how long? I really don’t know the Answer. I’m scared. My families are also scared. The TPLF family members are leaving the country with stolen money to the USA, UK, Australia, Canada, western Europe and so on where the criminals like us are very much welcome and feel safe and free when they face uprisings against them by the people they are stealing, looting, killing, and causing all sorts of crimes against as we do.

The TPLF criminal era will be over soon. There is no doubt about that. But how and what kind damage they are going to cause against our nation and people remain as the big and worrisome questions. Ethiopians must unite and work together in order to protect the nation knowing we are the ones making or destroying our present as well as future. Look at Libya, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Egypt and so on because of the people themselves and the bad international community members mainly the west involvement to destroy these nations. Ethiopians must stand together and they are more than capable to solve their situation by themselves.

We are hoping some TPLF members including Seyoum Mesfin and Tigreans like Aregawi Berhie and the likes will step up in order to play constructive roles to solve the issues we are facing because of the hardliners and evils TPLFs like these fives whom their photos are on this blogs. These five are among the evils making our country the way she is and will destroy her if they don’t get some brain and heart not to do so but become part of the solution.

If we have to need foreign mediations; we must accept only China, Russia, USA, France from Europe, UN and AU. Never ever allow the UK and Norway or anyone else from Europe. They are part of the problems, not the solutions. Look at south Sudan because of the so called troika which are USA, UK and Norway. Never ever allow UK if you want any peace in the country. We know what they have done/still are doing against our people through their embassy, so called aid agencies, NGOS, Charities, volunteers, journalists and so on working though their trustworthy and slave agent with Theodros Adhanom as health minister and also foreign minister. When the time comes, everything will be exposed and they will be accountable in international courts.

Watch how honest, genuine, patriotic and wise is this man who was born and raised in Adwa, Tigry. He is calling TPLF “liars and the hostile invaders” against the Amhara lands in North Gonder which is Wolkayit and North Wollo which is Raya. He knows everything about including the 2000 years history about these territories never been part of Tigry but always Amhara. He also know when and how TPLF decided to invade these fertile lands. He is telling them to withdraw and return these territories to the Amhara in order to have peace in the region knowing the Amhara will never ever allow TPLF to take these Amhara lands.

Tigry produces so many Bandas throughout history. But she is also giving births to lots of honest, genuine, patriotic and wise individuals like Gebremedhne Araya . We are hoping other Tigreans will hear this gentle man call and join the Ethiopian people knowing the vast majority Tigrians have nothing to do with TPLF but are victims in some other ways including having no freedom at all in Tigry.

alegna, alegna ha ha ha ha.
“This is typical woyane hodgepodge. desperate and definitely out of your depth.”
You must be SHABIA-TPLF or Sold out Ethiopian traitor serving your Arab masters.
the comment/opinion Dagna posted is a strait rough, an edited fact. It is funny that when you criticized Dagna’s by saying it is out of depth. Wow I tell you what have no any clue or no depth of knowledge to you really understand the complexity and how deep is the opinion. It covers many ares, it has no mercy, to TPLF , and Corrupt Amhara or Oromo EPRDF members, or Arab and Shabia dogs. Demand justice to the public and said we anly we Ethiopians can fix it if we are one.
It seems, this my opinion I might be wrong” Dagna “hates Shabia or Arab hand shaking politicians, like TPLF And Ginbot 7 .

Shaebia was faricated in cairo , egypt in 1960s which the main purpose is to weakened Ethiopia . the goal of egypt was achieved as it was inteded by secessioning eritrea from ethiopia in 1991 . this evil act of egypt / weakening ethiopia / will never stop & what we see today is the continuetion of egypt to destablise erhiopia . if egypt gets the chance & ability , she wants to divide Ethiopia not only to 81 pieces but also to 100 , 000 . 000 very small pieces & always remaining with out any stability . this is the day & night dream of evypt over ethiopia . SO WE ETHIOPIANS NEED TO WAKEUP !!!

TPLF is not popular government. the dictator government who stands for only the will of the smallest region, Tigray. in 2005 election 100% in all parts of Ethiopia defeated by opposition political parties except in tigray. but the election system which first started in democratic form directly changed to forceful action by killing membership of opposition party, imprisoning and restore his power by force. this government does not consider peoples’ voice, he believe it his military force. we do not need TPLF Party in Every part of Ethiopia

Good discussion, the guy said he knows some of corrupted authorities, so why you go interview and deliver to the people. Isn’t that your job? You are journalist. The reality is you couldn’t. Why you waiting until now to discuss, to get empathy from people? Before you discuss this, ask the government to release your occupational brothers.

Dawit you are a reasonable person but you got it wrong. Why TPLF?
1. The real power is in the hands of TPLF. No one believe Hailemariam has any power. Like Gedu of the Amhara he can be removed by TPLF guys and it is hard to blame or other puppets in the same way as TPLF. Whatever good or bad happening in Ethiopia is managed by TPLF groups.
2. 58 of the 60 Generals in Ethiopia are Tigreans. Amhara had one General who equally faught with TPLF but now he is removed. Less than 100% nothing is acceptable to TPLF.
3. The security force and the Federal Police is is controlled by TPLF. It is this force that is killing in Oromia and Amhara
4. Most of the oligarch are the TPLF guys. and they are the one behaving like a royal family and demand to be respected in public and social occasions. Some even threatening to peace loving citizens.
5. OPDO and ANDM now start showing concern with the people like TPLF is having concern for Tigray. As a result the Amhara and Oromo officials are getting targeted by TPLF when they start sympathising with the people. Gedu is a good example. OPDO succeeded campaign to stop the expansion of Addis Ababa by letting know through their TV their meeting in Adama and later reversing the decision.
6. Now the new generation educated by the TPLF in the last 25 year are ethino-centrics. They were trained to hate other ethnic groups. Now they are building confidence to express their feeling towards TPLF. There is an element of racism.

Just think you guys…how does a government that admits lack of good governance. Still goes on and moves 100% of parliament seats as well as all local elections…only other party with similar 100% result is North Korea Workers Party. You don’t need one hour discussion on this topic. The people protesting are young people that grow up and know only EPRDF government/TPLF. They know the system well. TPLF controls the military, economy, media and all aspects of life in Ethiopia.

As an Ethiopian, it’s shame to read much of the above discussion which is full of hatred and xenophobia! By this I feel as I am from minority ethnic group, marginalised and dominated by both Amhara, Tigre and Oromo power greed and arrogant sentiments.
Lack of unity, love, peace.
Ethiopia, 3000 years of history: 98% of our history is full of war, misery, hunger, drought, conflicts after conflicts? When do we give this unfortunate country PEACE and LOVE???
